"at this hour" with kate bolduan starts right now. hello, everyone. i'm kate bolduan. >> and i'm don lemon in monterey

park, california where investigators are searching for what motivated a man to kill ten people on saturday night at a dance studio during lunar new year. police have identified the gunman as 72-year-old huu can tran. he was found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound as officers closed in on his vehicle following a massive manhunt and this morning we're hearing from one fts heros who helped so stop the carnage. a 26-year-old man who subdued and disarmed the gunman at a second location is speaking out for the very first time. natasha chen joining me now with this hero's riveting account. good morning. what did he say. >> reporter: well, brandon tsay said he was cleaning up after most customers have gone at the lailai dance studio in alhambra and wasn't paying attention to the front door but he heard it

close and he saw this man and heard the sound of metal rubbing together. this man, he said, seemed as if he was not looking for money. not as if hes with trying to rob anybody, but looking for people to harm, he said. and then he described feeling as if he might die in that moment. and he said he got up the courage to act. here is what he said. >> when i got the courage, i lunged at him with both of my hands. grabbed the weapon. and we had a struggle. we struggled into the lobby trying to get this gun away from each other. he was hitting me across the face, bashing the back of my head. i was trying to use my elbows to separate the gun away from him creating some distance. finally, at one point, i was able to pull the gun away from him and shove him aside and create some distance, point the gun at him and intimidate him

and say get the hell out of here. i'll shoot. get away. go. and at this point, i thought he would run away. but he was just standing there contemplating whether to fight or to run away. i really thought i would have to shoot him if he came at me. this is when he turned around and walked out of the door, jogged back to his van. i immediately called police with the gun still in my hand. >> reporter: incredible action and quick thinking. and he said that the real courage is going to be shared and has to come from these families and friends of the victims of the people who have been injured and now this morning we are learning from the l.a. coroner's office two names of the ten people who died in that dance hall. they are 65-year-old mai nung

and lilly lee. you notice that these people are in their 50s, 60s and beyond. this was a place where couples came to learn how to dance and to have fun. and now they're lunar knew year celebration ended in tragedy. >> older couples. thank you very much. we appreciate that. >> reporter: and this morning we're learning more about the 72-year-old gunman. but his motive remains unclear. josh campbell has been digging into the suspect's past and he gi joins me now. what have you learned about the gunman. >> we're leern learning about the type of weaponry. this is described as a semi-automatic pistol which is illegal in the state of california. now there are still questions about how he obtained this weapon, the shooter obviously 72 years old. so it is possible that he

obtained this weapon prior too california's assault weapons ban going into effect but that remains part of the investigation. we know that after that brave individual who you just heard from disarmed the shooter at the second location in alhambra, that it was the weapon itself that allowed police to identify who this suspect was. police sent information out around the los angeles area about this vehicle of interest that they were looking for and it was actually a police officer in torrance, california, which is about 30 miles from where you and i are standing here, who saw the vehicle, executed a traffic stop. officers heard one shot fired. they backed out. called into the s.w.a.t. team and that s.w.a.t. team cleared the vehicle and found the suspect in the vehicle deceased. now take a listen here from the sheriff who described what authorities found when they actually went through that van. >> investigators conducted a search of the vehicle and determined that the male inside of the van was the mass shooting suspect. during the search, several

pieces of evidence were found inside of the van linking the suspect to both locations in monterey park and alhambra. in addition, a handgun was discovered inside of the van. >> so just remarkable police work here, sharing that information and getting that blasted out to officers around the region. and there was one officer who located that van. there are still a lot of questions about the suspect's past that investigators are looking into. we don't yet know the motive. we don't know what set this person off. and of course it is worth pointing out, we may never know the answer to that question. the suspect deceased, shot with a self-inflicted gunshot wound sunday here in california, don. >> hopefully we'll get more details and in the hours ahead. josh, stick with me because you could help me with the next interview because i want in now analyst jonathan wackrow. thank you. welcome to the program.

help us out here. you heard the account from the 26-year-old who is being credited with preventing further violence in monterey park. what is your reaction -- or further violence in alhambra. what is your reaction to what you heard from him? >> well, you know, listen, this hero, let's label him what he is. here a hero, for stopping future acts of killing. he used his instincts. don, when i heard that interview, he said when i overcame or when i got the courage to do -- it wasn't the courage, it was his natural instinct that there was a threat in front of him and he addressed the threat. for a long time dhs and other law enforcement entities have been promoting run hide and fight and we've heard this a thousand times. we've talked about it on this program numerous times as well. that has been a great program to raise awareness of what to do when faced with a hostile intruder and active shooter situation. but like any program, it needs

to evolve. critics have of run, hide, fight, has focused on the fact that it aligns to linear thinking and using instincts to address that threat and mitigate it. again he's a hero, he prevented numerous other tragic events from happening. but, again, i think we have to think about applying this to improving how we think about active shooter situations in the future. >> josh, in so many of the situations that we cover, we see people, they freeze. or they just stand by and take video or pictures rather than jumping in to help. this young man did. so what stands out to you most from brandon's account? >> well two things, don. at first, just how chilling it is to think that police could have been standing over another room full of victims.

but for the quick action of that brave young man. who actually disarmed shooter. the second thing which i still can't wrap my mind around is jonathan and i have -- we're both former federal agents. we went through training academies and agents are trained, repetition, repetition, constantly preparing for the unfortunate event where you might find yourself staring down the barrel of a gun or faced with spl ind coo -- with some kind of violence. how will i act when i find myself in danger. but this is a civilian with no law enforcement experience yet it was his bravery that kicked in, quickly trying to sub due that gunman. and there is something called tunnel vision that happens. anyone who has interviewed a victim of a crime, particularly a gun crime, you laser on in the threat in front of you and retelling, he saw the gun and knew he was laser focused to get that gun away from that individual. he did so to danger to himself. and even talked about the

bruises the suspect beating him on the head. yet you knee there was a threat that had to be comitigated and did it in an incredibly heroic way. >> tunnel vision and also adrenalin kicking in. jonathan, let's turn to law enforcement. how do you rate the response to all of this. because according to the l.a. count sheriff, these with young officers who had no idea what they were going to see once they entered the scene behind us and it was horrific. >> listen, especially for a young officer when you're faced with this type of situation, there is a physiological effect that has on you. but, broadly, law enforcement response to this incident was nearly textbook. i think what our viewers and the nation actually got a front-row seat to see this incident play out from almost the moment of the attack all the way through to mitigating the threat. we saw senior leadership briefing the public trying to

reassure them that the community was safe. we saw patrol acting very quickly on identified items of evidentiary value, specifically the white van. we saw the tactical units deploying the appropriate level of tactics to mitigate that white van and try to stop that threat from continuing. so, when you think about the -- the arch of this investigation, we really saw law enforcement at its finest in bringing a peaceful resolution to a really tragic event. >> let's talk about motive, josh, because we know the suspect had a connection to this dance studio multiple times and it is believed that he met his ex-wife here and i'm wondering how that is going to help investigators figure out a motive. i would imagine having a history here does help. >> it does. and certainly knowing the target location. now there are questions about when was last time the suspect was actually at this place. we know that in past years he had been say regular here.

again as you mentioned, with his ex-wife. but we still don't know why he decided on saturday night to come conduct this attack. and obviously you look the two crime scenes here, this one obviously resulted in a massive loss of life here. bup but over at second location in alhambra, they were dance studios soo hes with trying to inflict pain on patrons at those locations. we know that police are executing search warrants, trying to gather information from his residence, were there any notes left behind or any forms of communication, talking to people that he knew that we in his orbit to try to determine if he talked about wanting to do this type of thing or to hurt other people. that is all of the information that they would be gathering. and the vehicle itself. every single piece of evidence is important. they can't interview the suspect because it is deceased which makes their job a lot harder and

we may have to prepare ourselves of we don't won't ever know why he came here to conduct this heinous act. >> thank you very much. a fruitful conversation. kate, it is interesting, they're going through the evident and they now how he did it and the big question is why. why on earth would he do it. >> yeah, i mean, as josh was just laying out, so many questions still unanswered. maybe there is more to be learned today in the coming hours. but regardless of any answers, you have now a community as you've been hearing from people, ten people dead, ten others injured. there is so much now to go through. thank you for being there, don. >> yeah. so, this unfortunately and very sadly was not the only incidents of gun violence this weekend. in baton rouge, louisiana, 12 people were shot at a bar early sunday morning. three of the victims are in critical condition right now. and police call this shooting a targeted attack. no arrests have been made there. then in north shreveport,

louisiana. eight people were hurt including three children under the age of 10 in a drive-by shooting on sunday afternoon. witnesses say multiple suspects fired at least 40 times into a home. and then in atlanta, a 13-year-old boy was found dead with multiple gunshot wounds following a shooting on saturday night. the gun violence archive has tallied 36 mass shootings in the united states in just the first three weeks of this new year. startling and horrible statistics to be facing today. an just look at the numbers and details. the running list. the attacks have killed 50 people and injured more than 100 others and the list keeps growing. we're going to have much more on the deadly shooting in monterey park later this hour. but first, we're also covering an fbi search of president biden's home. and it turns up more classified documents. that is next.

there were more classified documents found at home of president biden. fbi investigators searched his delaware home for 13 hours while the investigation is still ongoing. it is clear that this is not going away any time soon. paula reid is in washington with more details for us. paula, what could you tell us about this latest search? >> reporter: well, kate, on friday, the fbi conducted an unprecedented search of the personal home of a sitting president of the united states.

as you just noted, the search lasted almost 13 hours. and the biden team said investigators walked away with what they describe as six items consisting of documents with classification markings and surrounding materials. it is unclear exactly what that means, how many documents versus pages. but investigators we know are still reviewing the materials and the lawyers for the president. they did get, we're told, a receipt, an accounting of what was taken. the president's lawyers are emphasizing their cooperation in this matter and the fact that they offered to allow the fbi into the home, that is of course in part an effort to differentiate this investigation with the investigation into trump. the first one, the volume of material. right. dozens of documents versus hundreds of documents. and cooperation also something that distinguishes these two cases. but we have to remember, special counsel robert hur, he's not even on the job yet. so the criminal investigation into this matter is only just

beginning and we could likely expect more developments including potentially more searches of other locations or researching places that have already been searched. >> thank you so much for that. so as the white house handled the classified documents, the president is getting a new chief of staff. sources telling cnn that biden has picked jeff zients to take over for ron klain in the coming week. let's get over to mj lee at the white house with more on this. and mj, what are you hearing about all of this from there. >> reporter: well it is going to be a big moment of transition for the biden white house with ron klain his chief of staff expected to step down in the coming weeks after serving in that role for about two years. he has been such a powerful force inside of this white house. it is hard to overstate what role he has had on every sort of facet of deliberations, from decisions, small to big, political decisions to policy decisions, so often when you

talk to people inside the white house, who has been taking point and so far they answer with one word and that is ron. now the person who is going to be taking over for ron klain as you said it jeff zients. he served as the covid coordinator for president biden. and he is seen as sort of an implementations guy. an operational guy. with less sort of political experience and certainly not a part of the very small, very tight circle of advisers that ron klain has been a part of. but what we're told is that the skills that jeff zients would bring to the table were seen as being critical for the next stage of the biden white house. including implementing some of the legislation that got passed during the first two years that biden has been in office. now, of course, i don't have to tell you this comes at a very pivotal moment for president biden politically as well. we are expecting a 2024 decision in the coming weeks and of course the whole issue of the classified documents, that is really ramping up as well. so there is going to be a whole

lot on jeff zients' plate when you takes over in a couple of weeks. >> mj, thank you. joining me for now is correspondent jeff zeleny. let's start there. let's start with jeff zients expected to soon take over as biden's cleave of staff. and everybody likely could know this or understand it. the chief of staff to any president is such a critical role, jeff, in the functioning of white house, the success of any president. what are you hearing about jeff zients in this new role. >> there is no doubt that the white house chief of staff has the best real estate outside of the oval office in the west wing because they convene many meetings in the corner of the west king, just steps away from the oval office and they really are the command center for everything that happens inside there. as this news was being reported by us over the weekend, i was thinking back to 2013 and that health care website back during the obama administration that broke down and did not allow the country, people to sign up for

obamacare. jeff zients is the man who came in and essentially fixed that website. since then he's been known as mr. fix-it inside of the obama administration and earlier in the biden administration during the covid pandemic. so that is what his role is. he's a managerial expert and he oversees the prosies and he's a leader. but he does not have a will the of political experience. and over the weekend talking to others, he has less political experience than anyone in the modder era but that could be a good thing as well heading into the new republican congress where relationships, old relationships may not be that helpful. so next month he's going to oversee processes and that is what his strength is. >> maybe a lack of political experience or prowess, that could be a good things these days. >> it could be. >> so bringing in a mr. fix it. it sounds good for everybody. we'll see. we will see.

one thing that we do know that he'll have to deal with if not directly, but the fallout from the classified documents matter. it is led to more questions for the president and other top democrats over the weekend. i want to play what senator dick durbin said about this to dana bash this weekend. >> when the information is found, it diminishes the stature of any person who is in possession of it. because it is not supposed to happen. whether it was a fault of a staffer or an attorney, it makes no difference. the elected official bears ultimate responsibility. >> and though there are differences between biden's handling and donald trump's handling of classified documents. sts still not going away. the longer it goes on, it means what for joe biden, do you think? >> well the answer is we don't really know exactly. no white house is heading into potential re-election wants to have a special counsel rooting around in your living area of

your home so we don't know exactly where this is going. but i was so struck by that interview with dana over the weekend with senator durbin and senator manchin and they're allies of this president, they were quite blunt in their description and characterize is of how serious this could be. so we don't know exactly where this is going from here. we do know that it is certainly undercut the president's really central argument that he has the competence and the adulthood if you will to govern. that is one of things that he drew a distinction between him and of the trump administration. of course there are tons of differences. but right now it is not the differences, the biden administration is trying to move this forward and move this quickly to not have it hang over them. but we simply do not know where a special counsel who hasn't even started work yet is going to end up with this. >> that is a great point. they're trying to move it forward as quickly as possible. but the more things that turn up, the longer it is going to linger for sure.

and that is separate of this special council investigation that is now just getting underway. i want to look ahead to 2024 with you. because i want to get your take on ruben gallego. he just announced this morning that he is going to be running for senate. he's going to be now challenging the now independent senator kyrsten sinema for his seat in arizona if she decides to run. what do you think this race looks like? >> it is going to confirm one thing that we've seen from the last few election cycles, that arizona is at the absolute center of the political battleground and now certainly this will be in the senate as well. we do not know if senator cinema is going to seek re-election. she's changed her party. that is a complicating factor for her. but what it is going to be is a cl challenge for democratic leaders. would they support an incumbent senator or support a democratic member of congress who certainly has the support of the left here. so what he's doing is going front and center into this race jumping in right now at the

beginning of 2023 to start raising money and to start sort of owning this race for himself. but without question, arizona senate race is something that we'll be talking about until election day on 2024, i could promise you that. >> and maybe the biggest question right now is not what rubin gallego's campaign is going to look like, it is if kyrsten sinema is running for re-election. stand by to stand by. thank you. so the supreme court issuing the first opinion of the term and for the first time in three years it is happening from the bench. that is next. it's clininically proven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno® if your business kept on employees through the pandemic, getrefunds.com can see if it may qualify for a payroll tax refund of up to $26,000 per employee. all it takes is eight minute to get started. then work with professionals to assist your business with i forms and submit the application. go to getrefunds.com to learn more. my name is joshua florence,

the supreme court is back in court. issuing the first opinion of the term in a case about veterans benefits. it is the first time since the pandemic began that justices are issuing opinions in person rather than virtually. joan bis coupic is watching this from washington. not only is this the first time in three years that they're redding opinions from the bench but it is taking them longer than ever to deliver this ruling. what is going on. >> that is right, kate. good morning and it was great to be there this morning when they are reading aloud the new opinions. since october when cases were first heard, they hadn't had a decision until today and usually by this point, in mid-november,

in december, the justices would have been able to reach some resolutions and put them out. there are a couple of reasons likely. one is there are lingering divisions at the supreme court from the abortion case last term. and also the leak, the premature leak of that reversal of abortion rights. that has caused all sorts of new security protocols to be put in place for the distribution of the opinions and for how the justices negotiate. that could have been a factor also. and then finally, we have new justice ketanji brown jackson who has been quite active during oral arguments and we're not sure how much writing she might be doing behind the scenes, how much more time she might want for deliberations. this opinion, though, kate, was in a case that was argued the second day of the term. back in early october. and it was very straightforward. 11 pages, it rejected disability requests from a veteran.

and it was unanimous. but we never know what went on behind the scenes in this. and finally, i would just tell you that between the security shortfalls that were evident in the leaked report last week and the lay in this decision, it is sort of a bad sign for what is going to happen going forward. we're not even in june yet, which is the last month of the term and when the really big decisions will come, kate. >> that tis exactly right. thank you so much. so in the next hour, we're going to focus in on the failed republican candidate accused of targeting democratic officials in new mexico. he will appear in court again. the judge will rule on whether he should remain in police custody. he was the mastermind behind the series of shootings at four democratic officials anz facing attempted battery and conspiracy. on friday the new mexico attorney general said that it is also investigating his campaign finances after police indicated

some of the money raised may have come from narcotics sales. much more could to come on that. and as police search for a motive in the deadly mass shooting in california and the country at the very same time sees a major rise in gun violence more broadly. what is feeling this. that is next. what? all i had to do was answer a couple queststions and got a real offer in seconds. ththen, they just picked up the car and paid me right on the spot. sell your car at carvana dot cocom today. dry skskin is sensitive skin, too. and it's natural. treat it that way with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated with nourishing, prebioc oat. it's clinically oven to moisturize dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno® ♪ ♪ every day can be extraordinary with rich, creamy, delicious fage total yogurt.

just in january. according to the gun violence archive as you see here on this graph, mass shootings in the united states have risen dam atticly. joi joining me now is jennifer macia who focused on gun violence in america. thank you for coming in. california, starting there from what we know, california is known to be a state with some of the strongest gun laws in the country. mandatory waiting periods. mandatory background checks. a ban on so-called military assault weapons and one of the first states to pass a red flag law. this shooting is proof that gun laws aren't stopping all gun violence of course. but what do you see here? >> well, i see a country with 400 million guns. and i see people who could go out of state to get guns. now there is a number of things that we don't know about this particular shooting but these are the things that i'm looking at. where he go the this gun. and when he got this gun.

several matt shooters recently like the laguna woods shooter and the gilroy garlic festival shooter went to nevada because they don't have the universal background check and registration scheme that california does next door. so that is one possibility. that is a way he could have evaded california strong gun laws. the other one this is a very old gun. this gun was the same model used in a few mass shootings 30 years ago but we haven't heard much about it since then. and the gunman may have been sitting on it for years. california's assault weapon ban was passed in 1989. california had strong gun laws but not always. so he could have kept this gun off the radar for decades. and then the only way to disarm him would have been california's red flag law as you mentioned. that was passed in 2014. and that would require him to come into contact with the police or a family member would have had to alert the police. and if those people weren't in his life, that shows the short

comings of those particular laws. >> it really does. i want to put that chart up once again because i want to use data from the gun violence archive, just showing -- it shows and i'm not trying to -- i don't want to put two things together because it is a coincidence, but that is what i wanted to ask you. this jump in gun violence since the pandemic set in, what is the research and conversation around that now? what has happened in this time period? >> everybody is looking at gun sales. we had something like 40 million guns sold in the last few years. this is a surge unlike we have never seen. and, you know, we have had a social event in this country. we had a possible social break down and people got scared in this country and they get guns for self-defense. researchers have said that the more guns are out there, the more guns are available to be abuse and that is something that the research shows over and over. >> i want to ask you, because i want to play smag something that

california congresswoman judy chu played after the shooting. let me play this. >> i still have questions in my mind. which is what was the motive for this shooter. did he have a mental illness? was he a domestic violence abuser? how did he get these guns and was it through legal means or not? >> so they're still investigating the motive. but she mentioned a possibility of domestic violence, what is the relationship that you see between domestic violence and gun violence in america in your research? >> domestic violence and mass shootings have intersected in a number of ways. the first modern mass shooting began with domestic violence, university of texas at austin. he killed his wife and mother first. there are those types of shootings that are shootings that start at home and move to the public realm. there are shootings where someone will target a partner or a former partner and bystanders get killed as well. there are domestic mass

shootings that target only family members and take place at home and those are the ones that we tend to not see on the news very often but those are some of the mass shootings that are happening day in and day out. the ones that don't make the news. more and more regular incidents of gun violence are turning into mass shootings. >> yeah. jennifer, it is great to have you on. thank you so much. a really appreciate it. russia issuing a new warning. if germany sends tanks to ukraine, how western allies are reacting to this latest threat. that is next. contestants ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. libeberty. liberty. ♪ this feels so rightht... ♪ adt systems now feature google products like the nest cam with floodlight, with intelligent alerts when a person or familiar face is detected. sam. sophie's notere tonight. so you have a ho with no worries. brought to you by adt. >> tech: when you have auto gss damage, trust safelite.

the kremlin now warning for ukraine to pay if germany and others ploy tanks to help in the war effort. fred pleitgen joins us. what are you hearing? >> reporter: yeah. this threat made by the kremlin earlier today. the spokesman for the kremlin saying if the western-made battle tanks no matter when we come from especially those made in germany, saying they would pay. massive retaliation on their

part. something we've heard from russians in the past. if you recall, when the u.s. end rocket launching systems to ukraine russians threatened to hit decision-making centers in kyiv and other cities as well. so far that really hasn't happened to the extent russia said that it would. nevertheless, the main battle tanks are a huge topic here in kyiv. hearing from ukrainian official. they're running out of spare parts for the soviet-made battle tanks they have. also running out of ammo. very difficult to source that internationally also. ukrainians say they need about 300 to 400 modern western battle tanks to really be able to turn the tide. as you correctly said, right now it's still difficult internationally. especially for the german-made ones, the german 2s. pols saying they want them send, own them, but needmission from germans. the germans saying they will if

the u.s. send abrams tanks. the u.s. thinks they're not suited for the battlefield here in ukraine making this also difficult. germans say it's being worked out at the moment, not there yet. a lot of countries see the necessities of he's western battle tanks to get to ukraine. >> didn't before. definitely a change in tone they see it now. thank you for being there. joining me for more on this a democratic congresswoman from pennsylvania who sits on the foreign affairs committee. thank you for being here. when you hear the russian government say ukraine will pay if anyone sends them tanks what do you make of that threat? >> i say what the person previous to me said. feels as though we've heard this threat before and, frankly, the actions of the russians are inexplicably -- aggressive. and i think show totally expect we would answer with these kinds

of weapon systems. i have actually been not only on the arms services committee but also on the foreign affairs committee advocating for us as americans, as the united states, making sure we are equipping the ukrainians with everything they're asking for including at this point tanks. i don't think sabre rattling from russia should be something that should stop us or our allies from being in support of ukraine as they fight for democracies around the world. >> and if it is sabre rattles, as said, heard the threat before. not like it stopped russia from being ruthless. at its core, then what do you think is driving hesitancy from germany? the hesitancy -- what do you think is driving the hesitancy from the u.s. to send tanks? >> it really sounds as though there is some work to be done in terms of conversations between allies both the united states and germany and heartened by the conversation coming out of the armed services committee from chairman mccaul who recently said we need to make sure e are

answering the call for ukraine for everything that they need, and that there is a process that needs to happen here domestically to educate our congress and administration and our d.o.d. to make it possible to be able to do that. then i believe germany will follow along, follow suit. that's been sort of the pattern since beginning of the war. a few hundred days ago. >> i want to play for you kind of right along the lines what you're talking about. play how the republican chairman of foreign affairs responded to concerns the new republican majority might not be as supportive sending aid to ukraine in the future. let me play this. >> we have to educate them. yop think they quite understand what is at stake. if ukraine faulls, chairman xi will invade taiwan. putting drones in korea and north korea putting ar ptillery into russia, thshe to understand the case. >> do you see that as well?

what is it going to take to convince the skeptics? >> absolutely. i hope now republicans have majority in the house of representatives, i hope now that chairman mccaul is chairman those folks on the other side of the aisle, republicans on other side of the aisle will start really listening to the chairman as we articulates ivy very, very well what's at stake here. this is not just about ukraine. this is, in fact, the world watching what happens for ukraine, to ukraine so we can make sure we protect as i mentioned democracies around the world. the implications are a failure in ukraine are global. i am very grateful, very pleased i sit on armed services and foreign affairs, resolute in their unity with democrats and republicans alike. recently another trip to ukraine the congressional delegation from ukraine just had back. i had opportunity to go myself and speak with president zelenskyy early on.

nothing changed other than we need to continue to support ukraine. >> it is also important to point out when there is the bipartisan support around thee issues. we see that on the work you're doing on the committee. thank you. appreciate your time. also, thank you all for in, t this hour.
